camera’s operating instructions)! Otherwise the shots will be made
without correction values!

• Apply the setting desired with the buttons ( + ) and ( - ). The possible correction
values range from 1/3 to 3 apertures in one-third aperture increments. The

The setting takes effect immediately. After about 5 seconds the display stops
flashing and the setting is saved automatically.

9.5 Modelling light („ML“)
The modelling light is a high-frequency stroboscopic flash. It creates the impres-
sion of a semi-permanent light for a duration of about 3 seconds. The modelling
light enables the user to assess light distribution and the formation of shadows
before taking pictures. The modelling light is triggered with the manual firing
button
ቤ.

light function „ML“ appears in the display.
9.6 Extended Zoom Mode („Ex“)
In extended zoom mode the zoom position of the main reflector ቫ is reduced to
one level below the focal length of the camera lens. The resulting expanded and
broader light coverage provides additional dispersed light (reflections) inside
rooms so that a softer flash illumination is possible.
Example:
The focal length of the camera lens is 50 mm. The extended zoom mode sets a
35 mm reflector position on the flash unit. However, 50 mm continues to be
shown on the display.
